WCCDA Webinar:

Trauma-Informed Career Development: Introducing Coaching Skills for Ethical, Inclusive Practice

Date & Time:
Wed, April 8th, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM Pacific Time

Description: Career development practitioners are increasingly supporting clients whose career paths are shaped by trauma, mental health challenges, and neurodivergence. Coaching skills are essential to a trauma-informed approach, integrating safety, choice, and collaboration into inclusive practice. This workshop introduces foundational coaching skills that strengthen ethical, culturally responsive career conversations. Participants will explore how trauma and systemic barriers influence motivation and decision-making, and practice micro-skills such as attuned listening, pacing, and autonomy-supportive inquiry. The session also covers recognizing overwhelm, holding space for emotional nuance, and maintaining healthy boundaries. This practical, experiential session equips practitioners to support clients with safety, dignity, and agency while caring for themselves as helping professionals.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1) Describe how trauma, mental health, and neurodivergence can influence career development and practitioner-client dynamics, using inclusive and culturally responsive language.

2) Apply foundational coaching skills—such as attuned listening, pacing, and autonomy-supportive inquiry—within trauma-informed career coaching conversations.

3) Integrate trauma-informed principles (e.g., safety, choice, collaboration) into coaching practice aligned with career development frameworks and coaching theory.

4) Reflect on their own practitioner stance and identify ways to foster culturally competent, emotionally attuned, and ethically grounded relationships with diverse client
